[Naruto] [Gaara] Sand and Thorn Bird

Seven days later.

Go downstairs, turn, go straight, go downstairs again...

Yashamaru walked into the place with several layers of guards inside and out.The guards are all the top talents of Sagakure Anbe, but despite their utmost restraint, the stern faces also showed the ashes of fear.That cold and strict posture seemed to imprison some S-rank rebel.

Who would have thought that the prisoner here was only a six-year-old child.

"Lord Gaara, I'll take you home." The silver key unlocked several heavy locks hanging outside the house, and Yashamaru pushed open the heavy iron door.

The dark house is isolated from the world, without a single window and a ray of light.With the help of the light from the open door, Yashamaru managed to adapt to the darkness in front of him, and found the small figure.

The figure in the corner didn't answer, but curled up with his hands on his knees, his originally soft red hair was a little messy.The little face was buried deeply in his knees.He hugged himself, curled up into a ball like a wounded kitten, his thin body was still trembling slightly.

Kazekage wanted to confirm whether Shuzuru, who had come out and made a big fuss, had settled down temporarily, so he stayed in this room for seven days.

"Lord Gaara," Yashamaru stepped forward and hugged the trembling little body, "It's all right now."

Seven days of isolation, cold darkness, and sudden warmth made Gaara's body tremble, and then tears gushed out like a flood that burst a bank.After being stunned for a long time, he seemed to have regained the ability to speak normally, and spit out tremblingly with a crying voice.

"Kakigi..."

"Kagi and her family are safe and sound."

"The village..."

"It will be repaired soon, don't worry, Gaara-sama."

"Brother and sister..."

"They're all fine."

"Yashamaru..." Stretching away, Yashamaru found that Gaara had already burst into tears, and her face, which was not energetic at all, was interlaced with transparent tear stains, some of which had dried out and clinged to her pale face I can't tell how many times I cried when I saw it.And in those clear eyes, hot teardrops are still pouring out one after another.

Obviously, I have worked very hard to suppress it!

Why does Shuhe still come out...

Kashiki... sister... brother...

Father father...

Sorry, I didn't mean to... I really didn't mean to...

What should I do now... Will I be left behind again, will I be alone again...

I do not want……

I don't want to be alone anymore...

don't leave me, okay...

do not leave Me……

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Gaara threw herself into Yashamaru's arms, and finally let go of her voice and cried helplessly.Yashamaru hugged his small body, stroking his back, "Lord Gaara, it's fine."

I don't know how long I cried before Gaara stopped slowly.Yashamaru picked up his weary body from crying and walked out of the dark hut.

Gaara looked back from Yashamaru's shoulder, and looked at the black hut that was getting farther and farther behind.Like a horrible black hole, a black vortex.

He doesn't want to be here alone anymore.

Gaara involuntarily shivered as he recalled the darkness, coldness and darkness inside.He withdrew his gaze, curled up, his dirty little hands tightly clutching the clothes on Yashamaru's chest.

He is greedy for this hard-won warmth.

"Yashamaru, do you think Kashigi will still be my friend?" Gaara raised his head anxiously, and asked in a hoarse voice that was already crying.

"...of course." Yashamaru comforted gently with his head lowered.

It's just that when he raised his head again, his face was out of Gaara's sight, and his eyes were no longer as relaxed and gentle as before.

It's just that she needs a little time.

"Yashamaru, please let me down, I can go." Recalling his gaffe just now, Gaara was a little shy.Seeing this, Yashamaru didn't say anything anymore, and gently put Gaara on the ground, and led him to walk home.

Pedestrians on the road saw Gaara with even more fearful expressions on their faces.In the whole street, no one was seen at any time, only a gust of wind blew up, rolled up the sand and stones on the ground, made a spin, and then left.Indescribably sad.

Yashamaru looked down at Gaara whose face was almost buried on the ground, tried to make his voice sound normal, "Master Gaara, we..."

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a crisp sound, like the sound of something falling on the ground and smashing into pieces.

Yashamaru and Gaara looked back subconsciously at the same time——

……

I love Lo...

It's Gaara...

"樛木!" The surprise voice that was about to blurt out, stopped on the lips after touching the expression of 樛木.

It's him……

move!get moving...

He clearly knew what he should do at this time, but his whole body trembled violently uncontrollably.

Behind the small red-haired figure not far away, it seemed that a huge bloodthirsty monster appeared.There were tearing cries and weeping in my ears, and the strong smell of blood seemed to fill my nostrils.At this moment, she felt that she had returned to that hell, which was also the nightmare that tormented her every night for the past seven days.

He obviously didn't want to recall what he had told himself, so he acted as if nothing had happened.

But for some reason, when I saw Gaara, those scenes all came like crazy!

At that moment, Akigi felt that he seemed to be able to understand the behavior of the villagers.

【Akigi, you can see what Gaara's true face looks like!Now you should believe it, he is a monster. 】The words of Jiro, who suddenly appeared in the shelter before, rang in his ears uncontrollably.

【My parents, brother, and home were all destroyed by him!Everyone in the village is! 】

【Ashiki, stop playing with him, he will kill you. 】

[Gara, he is a monster! 】

[Don't approach him! 】

……

"Akigi." Gaara tentatively and cautiously took a small step in the direction of Akigi, seeing that the other party just lowered his head and kept trembling, his emerald green eyes were filled with waves of worry.

"You—" the little gray hand stretched out subconsciously.

"Don't..." Akiki raised his eyes suddenly, his honey-brown pupils shrank suddenly, and his pale face was filled with horror, "Don't come..." His voice was trembling out of tune.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Gaara's eyes became more worried, and he was about to take another step forward.

What happened to Kashiki?Is something wrong?

"Don't come here!" The huge bloodthirsty monster was getting closer and closer to him, the voice of resistance blurted out subconsciously, and his legs took a step back involuntarily.

There seemed to be a sense of theatrical embarrassment and mockery, and every time Gaara took a step forward, she took a step back.

In fact, the object of her avoiding fear is not Gaara, but...

It turned out that she was afraid of herself.

Gaara quickly understood, and stopped heading towards Akigi, but just stopped at the same place, lowered her little red head, black eye sockets appeared in the blue lake water, and her clear eyes gradually became moist.

The feeling in my heart is more uncomfortable than ever.

He felt like he was thrown into a cold and endless black hole, sinking and sinking.The coolness and cold that pierced into the bone marrow gnawed at his heart.

In the past seven days, he often told himself that Akigi would never leave him.Although he knew how normal people would react to him, and Akiki, as one of them, naturally did the same, but he still held a damn luck in his heart.

It seemed that only in this way could he survive the long days.

However, at this time, when the cruel facts crushed his only luck and hope, he felt a thousand times more uncomfortable than when he was imprisoned.

Every step that Akiki took back seemed not to be stepping on the ground, but step by step, with the dense spikes on the soles of his shoes, firmly stepping on his chest.

"..."

"..."

silence.

Still silent.

Kashiki turned around suddenly, and ran away in a panic and embarrassment.

Yashamaru, who had witnessed everything, looked down at the potted plant that had fallen to Akiki's feet before, brown debris and soil were scattered all over the ground, and the poor little cactus lying quietly on the ground was like a flower that didn't know where to go. The heart that was abandoned by others.

Sure enough, it still doesn't work...

"I'm sorry, Akimu went to find Grandma Qiandai today." Qiao Mu looked at the two people at the door and said.

"Hey, that's it again?!" Kankuro frowned impatiently. It has been more than half a month since the rampage at the festival, and every time he got this answer!

"We went to see Grandma Chiyo first today, but Akigi wasn't there at all!"

Hearing this, a dark light flashed in Qiao Mu's eyes, but there was no embarrassment on his face that a lie should be exposed - he didn't intend to make up such a perfect lie.If he insisted on saying that there was any emotion on his indifferent face, it seemed to be a kind of relief, as if to say 'you finally see it'.

He opened his mouth inexplicably: "I'm afraid she won't be able to accept your younger brother for the time being."

"Kankuro!" Temari stopped Kankuro who was about to lose his temper.Of course she had already discovered that Qiao Mu was lying, and she naturally knew why he did it.

She still remembers that more than half a month ago, in the shelter, Akigi treated the wounded, his expression seemed to be serious and focused, but in fact he was dull and lifeless, just like that, one after another, he treated the wounded without stopping.

[Hey what are you doing! 】Temari rudely stopped Kashigi who was about to save the next person,【I already found out, you are almost running out of chakra!You'll die of exhaustion if you go on like this! 】

【…】Kakigi raised her head, her eyes were dull, she looked at Temari suspiciously, and then lowered her head to look at her own hands whose light was already very weak,【...it seems to be. 】

Temari looked at Aki with a complicated expression, and when he was about to say something, Aki's face suddenly changed, and he ran to the corner and vomited.

So painful... so disgusting...

so uncomfortable...

blood everywhere...

……

Temari forcibly dragged Kankuro away. After walking two steps, he suddenly turned his head and said to Qiao Mu, "Today is Gaara's birthday. I don't care if she comes or not. It's just—"

The long and narrow phoenix eyes suddenly burst out with a bit of piercing color: "Gara wants her to come."

After saying that, Temari and Kankuro left without looking back.

Qiao Mu sighed softly, took a step back and closed the door.

"Hakigi, I'm coming in." As expected, there was no reply.Qiao Mu gently opened the door.

The windows were closed tightly, the curtains were drawn tightly, and the tidy house was dark.Akiki sat in the corner, with his arms around his knees, half of his face was deeply buried, only a pair of clean but no longer bright eyes were left exposed.

For half a month, Akiki didn't cry or make trouble, and seemed to be living a normal life, but he was often in a daze like this.

Too.Such a bloody and frightening scene, normal people may not be able to slow down for a year or so after seeing it.

This is the ninja of Hidden Sand Village - he is always in fear, and every time the monster comes out, he almost has to fight with his life.

"Haki-kun, you can't do this."

Mingming was talking to Akiki, but he didn't look at Akigi, but walked to the bookshelf, looked at the photo frame that was thrown down on it, and then stretched out his hand to help it up.

It is a group photo of Akiki and his siblings before.

"...Brother?" Aoki seemed to realize that someone had entered the room at this moment, she raised her head and looked at Qiao Mu in confusion.

"Temari and Kankuro just came again." Looking at the group photo standing upright, the children on it were smiling differently but equally joyfully, Qiao Mu smirked slightly in satisfaction.

"Today is Gaara's birthday, I invite you to go."

Akiki was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head after a while: "I won't go..."

Before the words fell, Qiao Mu acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He opened the curtains with a 'sila', and the bright sunlight that was so bright that it was almost dazzling suddenly shone in. He raised his small hand to block the sunlight that directly entered the fundus of his eyes.

"It's bubbles." Qiao Mu opened the window, and several children were playing wildly in the street downstairs, blowing bubbles of all sizes from their mouths.

"Bubbles?" Hearing this, Akiki stood up curiously and walked to the window.The round bubbles show colorful colors in the sunlight, and they rise to the sky unsteadily, which is grotesque and beautiful.

"I heard that it's a newly purchased toy from Konoha, and children love to play with it," Qiao Mu explained.

"Ashigi, do you think bubbles are good?" he said suddenly.

Akigi looked at Qiao Mu puzzled, but saw him stretch out his hand, and his slender fingertips instantly pierced an air bubble that was rising to the window.

"It looks beautiful, but it's actually fragile... Just like the relationship between you and Gaara. Just because of Shukaku, you will always avoid them and never have any contact with them, Akiki? "Qiao Mu's expression was unprecedentedly serious, and his voice became low, even mixed with coldness, "Is the relationship between you and them so fragile, so vulnerable?"

"Do you really want this, like bubbles?"
